with gold, blue and brown ones braided
with blacks and tan ones with brown
braiding are most in demand.
The dreSSmakeriS' often called upon
to diSsimulate an excess of embonpoint.
But if the floating front of Jacket
has this effect tits not so with the gath
cred bodice-a style which ought to be
reserved for girlish figures of the will
lowy type. They require belt, which
should be drawn down a in a point in
front, and ought to be combined with
rather a simple skirt and tunic, both
gathered to the waist. Sometimes the
bodice portion of polonaise is made
full in front, which will be drawn in by
belt or sash starting from the side
seams. Thus, heliotrope cashmere
tunic is worn oversa Sicilienne skirt of
the same hue, hemmed up with wide
galloon composed almost entirely of
beads. The tunic is allowed to fall very
low in front, but is tucked up good
deal behind. The band is made of
beaded galloon-7narrower than that on
the skirt. and so are the collars and
cuffs. Very charming and at the same
time useful pol0naiSes are made of black
lace to wear over black silk or satin skirts
In one or two instances wide sash rib
bons have been attached to the side
seams, not folded, but spread out to
their entire width, and then pinned
down in front i'll point, SO as to form
sort of corSelet, above which the black
lace is shaped full over the bosom.
Bows of ribbon-when color is used
should be placed on the shoulders to
take off the trenchant effect OF the sash.
Both black and

down the skirt and fourth ON the hem
the ribbon being carried down from
one to another. Flounced lace dresses
may have fringes of cOlored ribbon be-
meath each row of lace, and plain silk
skirts be trimmed with rows of such
loops in lieu of flOunce. Blouse
baSques are seen upon rich and eXpen-
Sive costumes as well as on simple toilets
The waists are a change from the old
style blouse, being fitted more snugly,
and sometimes showing scanned
back ending in a very short position.
At the side seams is started a belt of
beaded galloon. which buckles in front.
When the belt is of ribbon there are
long ends to tie directly in front; when
of galloon they are dog collar and wrist
band to match. These new blouses are
a compromise between plain and full
waist and are generally becomiI, :, ey-
ceDt to Short-waiSted women. Home
dresSmakers are busy making up pretty
cotton dresses for the hot days. = hlte

of stripes or points. often running up
from plain hem. When more fancl-
full arrangement is desired there should

Fine embroidery or ValenciepneS lace

wrists. Loops of fancy-edged groS

preference to be given to such shades
as old rose, Nile green, serpent blue,
bamboo, lilac and primrose yellow.
THERE IS MUCH ANXIETY
on the part of Mr.. Green, of New York.
He met widow down in Wall street the
other day. She was soliciting subscrip
tons for forthcoming Life of
Beecher." and she found not only sub
scriber but an. admirer in Mr.. Green.
He called soon after upon the pleasing
young person at her boarding house,
representing himself as bachelor. 1t
was then that the beauties of. the Hud-
son became the topic of conversation,
and little excursion was planned
whereby he and she were to be members
of travelling party. AS soon as this
scheme was decided upon Green called
upon his friend White (the capper of all
the little games}, told him about the
pretty widow and the part he would
have to play the coming week.
I'VE shall start with the party on
Wednesday, said Green, ..and l
wouldn't wonder if it was the day boat
on Friday instead of Thursday that will
bring us down. | will write you to-
morrow if we take Thursdays boat. If

Exactly, and you be sure to drop in
Sunday evening and give the full par

WHITE WENT AWAY
perfectly instructed and slightly envi-
Gus. Green met setback. however,
for, calling OIL the widow that.evening,
he found that the trip must be post
poned.
SIT will be just as pleasant to go next
week." said the widow; and the capti-
waited old fellow had to agree, though it
was heavy disappointment.
Next morning he sent White a note by
a district messenger telling him of his
change of plan, and time passed until
the next Sunday evening. As he en-
tered his house he saw Whites hatin
the hallway. and in the drawing room
the voice of his friend rose high in ami
mated conversation. Standing between
the -portiers the face of Mrs. Green
struck him as looking more like the
head of MeduSa than usual. At least,
he felt its stony influence upon him in
dreadful force.
81 urged him to wait over and do
little fishing," White was saying, "but
he said, No; I'm like Clevelandlw want
my wife with me when l go fishing
and so we left Fonquette's. much to my
disappointment. You wouldn't have
seen him till Monday, tell you. Mrs.
Green, if he'd listened to me-" and
White slapped his leg pleasantly.
Green's heart ceased to beat. White
had been giving Mrs. Green the story
agreed upon, and she had not enlight-
ened him. Green felt the Medusan glare
filling the very air. White turned gayly
to him. satisfied that he had done his
